Our Brains – Friend, Foe or Both?
Let me ask you a question. How often do we tell ourselves things aren’t always what we think they are? In other words, there are times when our own brains just think about things so out of context that we have to tell it to be quiet. Although our brains are great at analytical things and things that require deduction or finding answers, where do we draw the line between when we should listen to our brains and when we should tell it to shut up…

It takes curiosity, commitment and desire
“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller, novelist Life’s a journey. No end, no final destination. Just milestones along the path, with new paths to explore, and new ways to experience your world. The journey is more than enough for a full, rich life if you do it right – if you keep learning, and growing and expanding your reach. It takes curiosity. It takes a commitment to daily renewal. It takes the desire to create the vision, set the milestones, and …

Coming Home to the Infinite Within You
Life is change for the human being. It's always growing, declining, dying, and being born. It is an inevitable aspect of life for us. Yet many people attempt to use spirituality to avoid this undeniable human truth. They hope to find some form of safe comfort in the external world, and thus, many spiritual seekers are essentially refugees from this truth. This happens for innumerable reasons, but mainly, it happens because people fear pain and death.But pain and death are here. And no "home" can be …

Get crazy
“I succeeded because I was crazy enough to think I could.” – Paulo Coelho Get crazy. Recognize that when you think you can, others will tell you you can’t. Ignore most of them, maybe all of them. Listen to the ones who support you, who want to help guide you, who have your back. Listen to sage advice, but know that only you decide your direction. Know you can. Keep that mantra top of mind. Own it. Create the vision of you having already succeeded. What it looks like, what it feels like, how your life has changed because you dared to dream, to act. And then act – every day, day after …

Jettison the junk
“Know what doesn’t matter.” Know what you need to learn, and know what doesn’t matter. You’re inundated with stuff, lots of it – too much of it. Your inbox is jammed; pop-ups scream at you to click and discover one more scrap of data, one more set of assumptions, objects, ideas, processes, and rules. Let the time wasters go. As you move into the new year, your most valuable skill will be to discern what is not of fundamental importance, and ignore it.

It’s about words
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” – Ludwig Wittgenstein Language is the roadmap to possibility. Limits in language create limits in thought. Your vocabulary is the catalyst to thinking in unlimited ways. Read. Write. Engage in interesting conversation. Expand your vocabulary, and in doing so expand your capacity to think, and expand your world. Life without limits begins with your grasp of language. – We’ve been working on a new website! Whenever we

Fast forward…
“Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great.” – Orison Swett Marden Years ago, a friend, just out of college, carved out a tiny startup subcontracting in the home improvement trades. He did what most would think was ordinary, common work. He did this in the midst of the internet bubble of the 90’s – a time when high-flying technology was a much “sexier” bet. Fast forward. We were recently together at a college football game. At the tailgate he told me he had decided to sell his jet. He no longer needs it, and now wants to do more sailing. Next …

It awaits your possession
“Zero sum doesn’t add up.” – P.J. O’Rourke It’s bad calculus. Others need not lose for you to win. Another’s win does not mean your loss. You live in a universe of abundance, not scarcity. It’s not a zero sum world. Life is not like a pizza, where there are a limited number of slices, and if you miss out you’re stuck with the box. Life lived in abundance does not require you steal a sliver of someone else’s slice, or somehow redistribute the pie. You can get your …
